Key for the new Slaughterhouse album to be a classic.

Every track on the Original Slaughterhouse Album was typically a standard Verse1/Verse2/Verse3/Verse4 wit each member spitting a verse with a hook in between, or perhaps only a hook between every two verses. A few songs followed a slightly different format, such as Ortiz and Budden sharing a verse in "The One".

I like plenty of the tracks on this album, as well as most of their other tracks, but one song stands out specifically.

In "Fight Club" All 4 members of the group go back and forth, playing off eachothers words, spitting a few bars to 8 bars at a time, with no true format. Its chaotic but in an amazing, unexpected way.

I think the next Slaughterhouse album needs at like 4 or more tracks like this -- not traditional verses on every song. The energy and cohesion on Fight Club makes me feel like they could have a ton more amazing songs following this method.

Here is the fight club remix (I like the beat better):

Another technique that was successful was the track "Warriors" off of Royce's Street Hop mixtape.
In this song, each member had 2 verses broken up as opposed to the standard 16-32 one verse each.

These song strategies as well as other techniques that get away from the conventional song style, combined with the groups lyricism, could make for one epic album.

However, 13 tracks with a monotonous verse by verse would make me rather dissapointed. Especially given that the group is putting much more time in the studio together for this album.

If they do a song with Em, THEY REALLY NEED TO ADD A HOOK TO IT :coffee:
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.
